JUDGE SUMNER HOWARD appear ed before the Supreme Court yes terday and practically abandoned that noted case of Conwell, taken to the Supreme Court on appeal from Yavapai county. The ques- ton was raised as to the legality of the law passed by the last legisia- ture which imposes a tax of fifty dollars per quarter on all saloons. Several of the so-called newspapers of the Territory, notably the Star, Herald and Journal-Miner, main tained as they claimed in the inter- est CD of the Territory that the journals were improperly kept, and the laws enacted by that body were illegal. But Judge Howard told the Supreme Court that that propo- sition was abandoned, and now they base their hopeless claims on the unoonstitutionality of the law. They claim it is discriminating in its character, and void. Thus these journals receive another set back in their frantic efforts to benefit the Territory.-Phenix Gazette.

Republican paper, in commenting on the above plank in the Demo cratic platform of New York, says |: "This plank is in marked contrast with the laundering declaration of the Republican convention, which professed to be in favor of main- taining the enormous taxes and bounties on the necessaries of life {; for instance, 60 per cent on cloth ing, upon the pretense that the workingmen want it, though the latter deny it and denounce it as a delusion and fraud, knowing, as every one does, that it is a robbery of consumers perpetrated for the benefit of bosses, monopolists, and synlicates and trusts, as the Treas ury can be supplied with halt the existing tariff taxation. The New York Democrats have faced the is- sue squarely and are entitled to credit for it."

HENRY GEORGE is in dilemma. One wing of the Labor Party are vociferously clamoring for him to denounce the decision of the Hi nois court in the case of the Chi cago anarchists, and demand that they shall be given a new trial, or, what amounts to the same thing be set at liberty. The more conserva- tive and by far the larger number of his followers are as much op- posed to the doctrines of Most, Schwab, Shevitch and all the other dynamite bomb-throwers, as any class in the United States, will not hear to it. Between the two he is sorely perplexed. One will damn him if he does, and the other will damn him if he doesn't.

That FOraker "Snub."

The Republican organs in Ohio are attempting to make great is- sue out of the alleged snubbing ad- ministered to Gov. Foraker by Mrs. Cleveland.
 Without regard to the truth or falsity of this allegation, it must be admitted by gentlemen of whatever party, that Gov, Foraker displayed most extraordinary assurance in voluntarily attending the social re- ception of President to whom he had publicly offered on the stump the grossest insult ever cast upon any Chief Magistrate by public man in this country.
 Let any Republican of ordinary self-respect and honor ask himse.' if he would deliberately seek to shake hands with a man of whom he had spoken in the terms em- ployed by Gov. Foraker towards President Cleveland, and, further more, how he would expect his wife to receive a man who had thus foully insulted her husband-New York World.

A PROTECTOR writing in the No

A PROTECTOR writing in the No gales Record claims to have dis covered the famous Sangre de Cristo mine, one of the lost seven mines of Old Mexico, of which so much has been written. In his description, he claims there are two parallel lodges, one of gold bearing decomposed quartz, which is held together by wire gold. This ledge, he claims, is 23 feet wide, and in the centre is vein of solid gold 6 inches in width. Fifty feet from this ledge, and connected by drift, is another ledge of silver bearing quartz, which is IS feet in width, and assays 1899 ounces to the ton. The drifts and tunnels are walled by solid masonry, and are in good state of preservation. But this IS not all of the wonderful discovery made by this fortunate prospector. On the top of the mountain, some five hundred feet above the work ings of the mine, he found 8 lake of quicksilver, and where the two  lodges intersect each other, he found a vein of anthracite coal of some 20 feet in width. Nature-or the prospector in his imagination could not have united all the essen tials for working this mine more conveniently. It is in order now for some one to come forward with a still larger Munchausen story of the wonderful richness of the fa- nous Sierra Madres.

THE people of Arizona demand the removal of all of the Apache Indians from the Territory, and the government sooner or later will learn that this is the cheapest poli- cy for the government, the most humane for the Indians, and the most just for the people of Arizona. But until that can be accomplished, let the Indians be weakened in the Territory by division and the small CT the number that can be located in one place, the less danger to the people.-Tucson Star.

with the expectation that the Pres ident could be got to pardon them. The most comfortable frame of mind is that of those of them who maintain that they have done noth- ing for which they ought to ask pardon of anybody, that it is for society to ask pardon of them, not for them to ask pardon of society, and that they will die as they have liyed.' If the infiction of capital punishment be ever useful and de- sirable, it is certainly so in their case. Nothing short of it could ever convince the strange horde of social malcontents who are landed here every year that the United States is not a good place for an archy."

IT IS said by those who have looked the matter up that the latest postal laws are such that newspa- per publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and re- fuses to pay for it. Under the law the man who allows his subscrip- ton to run along for some time un- paid and then orders the postmas- ter to mark it refused" and has a card sent notifying the publisher, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the same us a thief.-Clifton Clarion.

AN exchange says there is some thing almost staggering in the enor- nous figures representing the pay ments the American people have made on account of the civil war of 1861-'65 since the war closed, and without including the expenditures of that four years period In Au- gust of 1865 the national debt was $2,755, ,995,0O0 with an annual in- terest charge of $151 ,332,OOO. Now the debt is $1.165 434, ,65O-show- ing reduction in twenty-one years of s1,59O,560,625. The interest charge has been reduced to $40, ,645,- GOO. The aggregate interest pay ments on the debt since 1861 have been $2,621 100000; that the pay ments on account of this principal and interest of the debt have been over $3,S5O,000,OOO. Add to this the pensions paid, $1 ,614, 100000, and we have the enormous sum of $5, ,465, 100000. This is about $100 for every soul of the average popu- lation, and exhibits debt paying capacity that no other people in the world can afford parallel to. The figures do not include the payments for support of government during the period referred to.

THE compromise made by the Board of Supervisors with three of the sureties on the bond of Dioni- cio Baca, late Treasurer, at their last meeting, and which appears in full in this weeks issue, IS a good thing for the county, and is some thing if it had been effected long ago, would have been better for the county. These three sureties pay into the county treasury within the next ninety days thirty-fve hun- dred dollars in cash; the county retaining the power to control the Judgment affecting s. NJ. Vigil, and in the case of Jose Garcia, in excess of one thousand dollars.
 Compromising upon Il cash basis is the sort of compromise the coun- ty wants, and is worth ninety per cent more than compromises based upon promises" and ninety-fve per cent more than promises based upon walking property, which has a two and three years leave of a5- sence from us, and in the mean tune not unlikely to become lost in the distant mist, and be unable to find the way back home to report at the specified time.

 THE revised statute seem to make it appear as though proving up on townsites is rather complex piece of business, at least We think 1t will prove so, so far as the town site of St. Johns is concerned. Oh, ,, sec. 7, of the statutes reads as follows:
 "The number of lots which any one claimant shall be entitled to pre-empt under this Act shall not exceed in the aggregate 12,500 square feet, and such additional lots not exceeding three thousand one hundred and twenty-five feet to the lot, upon which the claimant shall have substantial Improvements of the value of not less than one hun dred dollars. When any claimant shall make application to enter more than four lots, he shall spec ially designate such lots in the statement to be filed by him as aforesaid, and particularly describe the nature and value of the i'm provements on each of said addi- tlonal lots, and shall at the time of making the proof required in sec ton six of this Act and in addi- ton thereto, prove to the satisfac- ton of the trustee, by the affidavit of one or more reliable witnesses, the facts entitling him to enter such additional lots."
 Thus 1t would appear lot of twelve thousand five hundred square feet can be entered by one person. This would constitute a lot in feet, 100x125, or in rods, about 6x7. It further appears four additional lots can be pre-empted, each containing three thousand one hundred and twenty-five feet, mak- ing in the aggregate, twelve thous- and five hundred, or being equal to the above described lot, 100x125 feet, but the conditions here set forth, is what is likely to interfere with our town people.
 Each of these four additional lots must have substantial improve ments upon them of the value of not less than one hundred dollars, and without these improvements the additional four lots cannot be pre-empted. Under this law, if title for townsite is obtained, one half of the land at present claimed by residents of the town will have to be given up, as there are but few instances in which more than 12,- 300 square feet, or a lot 100x125, can be pre-empted. It now re- mains to be seen how this can be obviated, and how title can be ob- tained for all land now owned or or, whether the proving up will still go on and all the land that cannot be entered under this law be given up. At present the progress in either event seems slow, and the intention as to whether a townsite will be sought after, or laid aside, seems to be lost sight of.
